The new Sandisk Extreme III CF card (specified transfer rate 30 Mb/s) should do well, as it supports UDMA. This thing is pretty fast, better than any old harddisk drive. The 2 GB…

The M2943 is one of the most brittle displays I have ever seen. Most other Apple displays hold up fairly well, but every single M2943 I have is crumbling - even the ones with perfe…

just didn't know if there was a good Apple monitor from the mid-90's... Click to expand... Oh sure, there are some good monitors. Really, anything *EXCEPT* the MS 15" is good. …

And also this may be unecessary but they have to be 5 1/4' diskettes.

Any DSDD (Double-sided, double-density) disks should work. Click to expand... Exactly. Sectored-ness (hard or soft) is irrelevant in the Apple's case. Just avoid HD ('High De…

My school still uses some G3 iBooks and I see this hapenning to them VERY soon... And I'll have to arm up with a heat gun. I was trying to fix the BGA by putting a small candle cu…

I'll always love the iBooks though and look forward to the day when I finally have the resources to repair one. (I can do the BGA's on the GPU, just not that little sub-processor c…

I'd be trying another monitor. Seriously, as Gil said, the MS 15" displays were shocking, even back in the day. I bet if you try another monitor, you'll find that there is nothing …

Mine's on its last legs, it's fallen apart and the solder joints have fractured numerous times... it packed up again today. However I still love the computer for the times it did w…

So I picked up an Apple IIe with a Disk ][ from the local Goodwill. I want to buy some disks to use, but my google-fu is failing me. I seem to recall that it requires hard sectore…

Terrible, *TERRIBLE* monitor. They are plagued with all sorts of problems, mostly cold solder connections. There was an Apple Repair Program that expired almost a decade ago. Serio…

(just noticed this may be in the wrong forum, sorry...) I just grabbed a cheap 6400/180 (see post in conquests), came with an M2943 multiple scan monitor. All seems to work well, …

I installed 10.3.9 with xpostfacto things seem to be good, just waiting on my G4 400 CPU. it is alot snappier with 10.3.9 with the G3 @ 400 mhz...

Also as a personal touch for my mommy I modded the glowing apple and made it pink! Looks pretty awesome. Tiger runs on this thing like a champ. Looks brand new now except for 2 …

Congrats on the iBook! Hope yours fairs better than mine did...mine was plagued with problems since the start, and it finally failed a few months ago with the infamous GPU issue.

I used to have a 1.33GHZ iBook, that was a champ and served me awesomley. Great laptops!

check the jumper settings on the drive... It's been a while since i played with scsi stuff, but there might be more than just the scsi id jumpers? Maybe you need to terminate the …

I've got a partially restored Quadra 700. It came with nothing, no RAM, floppy drive, hard drive, or even internal device cables. It now has all the internal devices, maximum RAM…
